Prisons And Palaces with Katherine Warnock
Hello and welcome to Faith and Famous the Podcast! Join us as your host interviews Katherine Warnock, known as the vice president of the original content series The Chosen! She was also previously the head of Faith and Family content ay MGM studios and helps to steer growth through the innovative content creation. She has worked with elite brands such as Paramount Pictures, Warner Brothers, Sony, and Ford to name a few! Katherine was a high school teacher and went on a mission trip to Mozambique. It was there that God placed on her heart that she'll be working in Hollywood, despite having absolutely no experience in Hollywood at all. In her words, she was simply a high school teacher who just said yes! Katherine talks about the good, the bad and the ugly of Hollywood, and realising that she really did not expect what she saw. But God taught her to love people better and not judge, and she strives to love people wherever she goes. She also shares the importance of understanding your 'why?' when it comes to being in the entertainment industry. She explains that she's not in Hollywood to conform, she's there to be the light and so, unlike most people who see the darkness of Hollywood, she sees the hope that God sees! She highlights the need to trust God, even if it means not moving up as fast as you want, but knowing that like God did with her, He takes you higher, even if it takes a little longer, than you would go if you conformed and joined in what Hollywood expects of you! Listen here as Katherine explains that it is important for actors or professionals in the entertainment industry to hear God's voice, to be in a community who is NOT in the industry who will be able to see from an outside perspective what is right or wrong so not to make you compromise, let God shape your character, and invest deeply and richly and lavishly in his presence. If you want impact and you want authority and people to trust you and testimonies and His favour to come forth, this will be an overflow of His presence in you!

Giving It To God with Brannon Hollingsworth
Hello and welcome to Faith and Famous the Podcast! Join us as your host interviews Director, Producer and Screenwriter Brannon Hollingsworth, who created and has created a range of animations including in Cubekins, Righteous Warriors and Molly's Memory Verse. He is also passionate about teaching, speaking and supporting the industry! Brannon never planned to be in entertainment but started off as a 'closet creative'; wanting to create stories and animation and was always doing as such. He then started a Youtube Channel with his business partner Michael, where they taught children how to draw and paint, which later then formed Brainy Pixel. About 5 years ago, they were ready to pack up as they found the business to be unfulfilling and while it was going well, they found it to be lacking purpose. But then after an Abraham-Isaac moment, they made the decision to put the business on the alter, gave it to God,, sought, prayed and continiously give it to God as an offering, and had a new found love for it which has catapulted Brainy Pixel to what it is today as they continue to be humbled and obedient to Christ. Brannon didn't begin following Christ until 33 years of age, but here he shares his testimony and also shares the casting process of finding the right artists for their content, and shares advice on how to deal with not booking work in an industry that is super competitive! As also promised in this episode, is the link to the Brainy Pixel mailing list! Subscribe and be the first to find out what they're up to, and what's to come!

Breaking The Point of Tension with Steve Shermett
"I'm not saying there will never be an end to the tension, but I think there's certain lines that we should not cross, and we have to decide for ourselves what those are, and it's probably best to enumerate them upfront." Hello and welcome to Faith and Famous the Podcast! Join your host as he interviews actor, producer, casting director and TV host . Steve had an absolute passion for acting and performing, but when he became a believer, he stopped because he simply didn't know how to make the two work together. This was until 6 years ago, where on his birthday, he went to an acting class for a bit of fun and see if that passion was still there. Sure enough it was! And it was then that he began to learn from talking to others about how he can indeed make acting work around his faith, his family and his ministry. Today he is an incredible, well established actor, and has even been involved in producing and casting directing! Listen here as Steve shares his story, how his love for acting was rebirthed and how he has been able to make the two worlds come together!
